Last weekend my friend Clara and I went to a special restaurant. When we arrived there, it looked like other restaurants. The only 51 thing was that they took our bags, phones and watches and locked them up.
Next, we followed the blind waiter, Serge, down a long and fairly dark hallway. He took us to another room. It was totally 52 . Serge showed us to our table and 53 us to sit down. There were no menus. Serge just put 54 down on the table and told us to enjoy our meal. At first, we found it difficult to eat and drink in complete darkness. But after a while, we got 55 to it. Everything smelled and tasted so good that it didn’t matter 56 nobody could see anything.
57 , it made the meal lots of fun. We had a really good time, laughing and trying to 58 what we were eating. With light music, we were soon chatting and joking with all the other 59 .

The other day our English teacher asked us to read an article in the textbook called “Stonehenge—Can Anyone Explain Why It Is There ” While reading, I couldn’t stop thinking of my 61 of Stonehenge last summer when my family went to the UK. It is one of the most wonderful experiences I’ve ever had.
Stonehenge is a 62 stone group made up of a large number of heavy stones. It is said that they were put together almost 5,000 years ago. It took us about two hours to get there from London by bus.
When we 63 there at about 10 a.m., visitors of all ages had already begun their trips. I could not wait to join them. Some men 64 uniforms guided us to walk along the paths around the large stone monuments (石碑). Walking along them, I felt like stepping back 5,000 years. I 65 each stone might weigh several tons. Looking at them in amazement, I wanted to know how ancient people could make those large stones stand without the help of modern 66 . Questions came into my mind: Why did they build Stonehenge How long did it take them to build it I could not 67 how many people worked together to build these monuments. The true purpose of building Stonehenge may remain a mystery. But its 68 to attract and encourage people has lasted for thousands of years. Without great teamwork, Stonehenge would never have been built.
As we stopped to take pictures, I saw a blonde girl 69 the stone monuments. She was getting inspiration (灵感) from them for her artwork.
Stonehenge is a very great place that has amazed people from all over the world for 70 . If you ever get the chance to visit England, take the time to see the great stone monuments for yourself.

Last month, 73 things began to happen at London’s Battersea Dogs Home. Every morning when the workers 74 , they saw that many dogs were out of their cages (笼子). It was a mystery. “It 75 so many times,” said one worker. The workers decided to put cameras in all the cages to 76 what was happening.
The next day the workers were 77 at what they saw. Red, a four-year-old dog, used his teeth to open the door of his cage. Then he did the same for his 78 in the next cages. “They ate lots of food, played and had lots of fun, and 79 lots of mess!” said a worker.

One day, a woman bought a parrot from a pet store. However, the woman decided to 81 the parrot to the store the next day. “This bird doesn’t 82 ,” she told the pet store owner. “Does he have a 83 ” the owner asked. “Parrots enjoy watching themselves in it.” So the woman bought a mirror and left.
The next day, she came back again, saying that the bird still didn’t say anything. “How about a ladder (梯子) Parrots love ladders,” the owner said. The woman bought a ladder and left.
But the next day, she was back a 84 time. “Does your parrot have a swing No Well, once he starts swinging, he’ll talk a lot 85 ,” the owner said. The woman then bought a swing and left.
When she walked into the store the next day, she began to 86 and said sadly, “The parrot died.” The pet store owner was 87 what she said. “What I’m sorry. Tell me, did he ever say anything ” he asked. “Yes, right before he died,” the woman answered, “in a 88 voice, he asked me weakly, ‘Don’t they sell any food at that pet store ’”
